1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo explore the role of 4-1BBL in nicotine-treated immature dendritic cells (imDCs) mediated anti-tumor effects.

methodsBone marrow-derived imDCs were stimulated with nicotine and 4-1BBL expression was determinated by flow cytometry, Western blot and RT-PCR respectively. Then, the roles of 4-1BBL in nicotine-augmented DCs-dependent T cell proliferation, CTL priming and anti-tumor effects were investigated by BrdU cell proliferation assay, enzyme-linked immunospot assay and in vivo preventive effect on tumor development, respectively. Finally, using relative kinase inhibitors, the mechanism of 4-1BBL up-regulation by nicotine stimulation and the roles of Mek-PI3K signal pathways in nicotine-augmented DCs-dependent T cell proliferation were explored by Western blot and BrdU cell proliferation assay, respectively.

resultsFirstly, nicotine could up-regulate 4-1BBL expression in both protein and mRNA levels. Secondly, the effects of nicotine-augmented DCs-dependent T-cell proliferation, CTL priming and anti-tumor effects could be significantly abolished by blocking CD80, CD86 and 4-1BBL activity, respectively. Thirdly, the combined blockages of CD80/CD86, CD80/4-1BBL, CD86/4-1BBL or CD80/CD86/4-1BBL signals could decrease 53.2 %, 29.6 %, 27.9 % and 54.5 % nicotine-enhanced T cell proliferation, respectively. Importantly, nicotine-induced 4-1BBL up-regulation could be decreased by the usage of Mek-PI3K pathway kinase inhibitors. The pre-treatment of Mek-p38-PI3K kinase inhibitors could obviously abolish nicotine-augmented DCs-dependent T cell proliferation.

conclusionsCD80/CD86 and 4-1BBL are critical for nicotine augmented DCs-mediated anti-tumor effects. 4-1BBL and CD80/CD86 could be considered as potential candidates for preventive and therapeutic tumor vaccination.
